Number 9. Number 9. Always think of that Beatles lyric when I hear or write this number. Anyway, we all know who the best to wear the number 9 for the Dallas Cowboys is. There's no doubt, right? Mr. Tony Romo.

Tony Romo is one of the best Dallas Cowboy quarterbacks, and you gotta remember, the guy was not drafted. Wasn't selected out of Eastern Illinois. But the Cowboys took a shot on him as a free agent and did it ever pay off?

Romo joined the Cowboys in 2004 in a backup quarterback capacity. He didn't get on the field as a quarterback, but was a holder for kicks. 2005 saw him serve in the same capacity.

He would have success in 2006, replacing Drew Bledsoe as the starter, and begin his journey as the Cowboys starting quarterback. The rest, as they say, is history. Here are his career numbers as of this post:

34,154 passing yards (Cowboys' all-time leader)

247 passing TDs (Cowboys' all-time leader)

4-time Pro Bowl Selection

2,826 pass completions

2014 NFL passer rating leader

Did you know............that Romo has the NFL record for the most consecutive road games with a TD pass with 41?
